I am currently using the Awning and Sign Composer 2.0. This has been the most useful tool I have ever purchased and used since I have been in the business!!! (And I've been selling and installing awnings since 1967)"

"Approximately two months ago I purchased from Canvas Link, Inc. specifically for my awning division, the Canvas Link Awning Composer CD-ROM program. As you and I discussed the merits and capabilities of this program, I made a command decision to not only buy this product from you, but a full blown new computer system as well. In reviewing this decision, it is truly one of the best ones that I feel I have made for the growth of Canvasworks, Inc. ever!

As for the computer system, its components, and software, we are equally pleased. Most of all, not only are we pleased with both Awning Composer and the computer system itself, but the customer support that your staff has offered has been exceptional. Happy New Year, and we do look forward to a great business year in 1998."

Sincerely,

I really appreciate your support and interests in my new venture, you have always been a sincere person and I'm glad you are part of our family.  If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know."

Dear Larry,

"Thank you for so generously donating your valuable time as a speaker at the WCPA 1997 Palm Springs convention last week.  I enjoyed meeting both you and Andy.

Your presentations on organization and the internet were dynamic, enthusiastic and the message hit home with everyone in the audience.

Thanks again for speaking at the WCPA convention.  I would like to talk with you about a Canvas Link and Eide Industries computer package at a later date."

Dear Larry,

"Thank you for participating in MFA's Upper Atlantic Regional Workshop.  Your support allows us to create a common meeting ground for fabricators to learn and network as well as to get together with suppliers to the industry.  We really appreciate your willingness to come to our workshop and get involved with the fabricators who attend.  With your help, MFA is attracting more people each year to our regional workshops and our National Convention.

MFA's National Convention is being held in Cocoa Beach, Fla., February 8-11, 1997.  The program id focused on advanced canvas work and is already attracting a great deal of interest from MFA members and non-members.  Of particular interest to suppliers is the trade day scheduled for Sunday, February 9 and open free to the public in the afternoon and a supplier sponsored Luau in which you can invite your guests.  You might also be interested in participating in the tours on Monday 2/9, where we will visit Sea Ray Boats and two production shops, Great Lakes Boat Top and Canyon Tech.  Please let us know soon if you want exhibitor space at this event."

Dear Andy,

I have bought 4 of your sharpeners in the past as gifts for friends (and for myself)! I have several relatives who have witnessed my sharpeners in action and now want one for themselves.

Thanks

I'm a current user of Canvas Link Awning & Sign Composer at work and must say that I'm very happy with the results. It has made my job feel like that "Point, click, and ship" gig because it is so simple. Having scrolled through this page, I believe things are just about to get three times easier.
